Photographer's Note

The Chavón River is a river located to the east of the Dominican Republic. Its best view is obtained from the village called Altos de Chavón. The history of this river contains extremely interesting passages; From the origin of its name, possible corruption of the name Taino "Bomana", until its use by known pirates to hide treasures, passing through its use from colonial times to transport the precious woods that were cut in the forests of its basin. At present the mouth of the river is dominated by the town of Altos de Chavón and at its exit is located the spectacular marina of Casa de Campo. After the dam of the river located on the bridge that crosses it we find a tropical space that can be visited in pleasant ships that transport tourists who want to enjoy the calm waters. It is a fairly large river that is born in the interior of the country to flow into the Caribbean Sea on the outskirts of the city of La Romana Some areas of this river served as stage in the filming of films like Apocalypse Now.

Good day.
Beautiful view of the moment, interesting and good text ...
Donbar work on compositions, beautifully demonstrated, good contrast and theory point of view, beautiful colors, beautiful moment captured with visitors. Beautiful nature and a terrace with a lamp.
Have a nice and successful day, all the best.

Hello Luciano,
A beautiful view of the calm river flowing through this landscape of green fields and forests. The composition is perfect and I like how you also included the little viewpoint with these two people in light blue.

I'm sure you were wishing that the lantern was on the further corner so that it would not interfere with your capture of the focal couple, so well placed in your frame. I do like the fact that they are in matching colours, combining them as one focal image.
The scenery around is verdant and artistically divided by the guiding curves of the river.

Hello Luciano,
The notes are a useful addition to this interesting river perspective. I like the way the water flows around the frame and the lush green tones of the landscape. The couple admiring the view supply scale and offer some splashes of contrasting tone.

Hello Luciano,
You composed this well (not surprising), with the curving river with two tones of green on the sides and the stone terrace with two persons. I estimate that the composition also follows the rule of thirds well.
Kind regards,
Gert

Ciao Luciano,
I didn't expect to see a view like this from the Dominican Republic; we usually see beaches and palm trees. I'm sure there is lots of interesting nature in the interior part of the country, and this view is part of it. I like all the greenery, and your inclusion of the two people on the left. The small, stone area where they are standing is charming, and I like the lamp, too.

One thought crossed my mind when first opened the thumbnail, Luciano: Why there is a lamp on this balcony? maybe a meeting point for romantic couple? they would not need it.
Anyway, the sight from this veranda is awesome, the river and green fields beautifully shown from this high spot. Easily could had thought it is in Europe.
Buena Sabato,

Hello Luciano,
Most probably that lady went to hide behind the lantern at the very last moment.
The level difference between both banks of the river is remarkably large.
Beautiful green landscape at both sides.
To me this is a bit of an unusual and surprising image of the Dominican Republic. So I appreciate it all the more.
Best regards, Paul

Thats a great composed image having lush green natural environment all around. Though I would prefer to see a bit more space in upper side of the valley. The tourists are very well captured by you. Lighting and contrast is very nice.

Ciao Luciano,
beautiful riverside landscape, fantastic point of view!
From a distance it does not differ too much from Europe.
Nice that you have included people who add some life to the scene.
The river makes a pleasant turn in the frame which contributes to eye catching geometry.
Great reportage from DR!

Hello dear Luciano,
Another topclass landscape capture in your gallery. Very good pov and sharpness. Must be quite healthy to live in such a regions instead to suffer under the turmoils of the big city.
TFS and best regards
